Would like to build a webinar product that can do live presenter video, desktop sharing, slide presentation. Does Twilio have the platform to provide the backend resources to make this happen?

You could build audio and video streaming using Twilio's video capabilities. This infrastructure however is not built for streaming for large audiences as of the time of writing.

So to answer your question, you could build a platform where you can record and share your videos, but live streamming would be limited.

Think of Twilio's streaming capabilities as something more like Skype or Google Hangouts rather than Twitch.

Have a look at our Video Quickstart to find out more about Twilio's video capabilities.

Hope this helps you.
